Most people use LinkedIn to share promotions or new career moves—Ryan Salame used it to announce his next stop: prison. 

On Thursday, just days before beginning a seven-and-a-half-year sentence, the former FTX co-CEO posted, “I’m happy to share that I’m starting a new position as [an] inmate at FCI Cumberland.”
